Introduction Thank you for your interest in the GTXRaster CAD 2012 Series products. This is the latest version of our AutoCAD based application from GTX Corporation, which enables you to utilise scanned paper drawings in your AutoCAD 2012 environment. Please note that the Demo DVD includes other GTX products, such as GTXImage CAD™ (which is our Windows standalone editing and conversion product) & GTXScanClean - for automatic, interactive & batch image clean-up. However, this guide concentrates only on the GTXRaster CAD 2012 Series range of products. This demonstration DVD allows you to view the GTXRaster CAD Series in one of two ways. You can either view a self-running demonstration or you can try an evaluation copy of GTXRaster CAD Self Running Demonstration – Go to page 4 1. Run a copy of the GTXRaster CAD Series Menu Driven Demonstration. This will give you a

structured automatic demonstration of the functions and facilities of the various GTXRaster CAD Series products.

Evaluation Copy – Go to page 6 2. You can install an Evaluation Copy of one of the GTXRaster CAD Series products. This

option allows you to experience the real capabilities of loading and working with scanned raster image files, including raster editing and raster conversion capabilities within GTX. It requires that you have full AutoCAD 2012 running and configured on your system. (Note – This 2012 version software will not work with AutoCAD LT) The evaluation (demo mode) software allows you to use all of the functionality on a restricted area of a loaded image. The demo mode area is 1000x1000 pixels, which represents appox. 125mm square area at a resolution of 200dpi.

Also available on this DVD is a technical “White Paper” How to Integrate Paper with CAD, which discusses in detail the reasons, issues and technology used to integrate paper based drawings into a CAD environment. If your company is addressing these issues for the first time we strongly recommend that you read this first. It is on the DVD in the INFO\MISC Directory called Whitepaper.Doc or Whitepaper.PDF.

GTXRaster CAD 2012 Series Brochure - providing full specifications on each level of the GTXRaster CAD Series, are available in both PDF and Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT & PPS). These are to be found in the INFO/V2012 Directory on the DVD. A selection of GTX customer Case Studies are also included on the DVD - covering Aero Nautical, Maritime, Mechanical, Architectural, Defence, Electro Mechanical, Gas & Oil, Power/Utility, Telecoms, Local Government & Mapping/GIS applications.These Case Studies are in PDF format & can be found in the INFO/CASESTUDIES Directory on the DVD.
